Clementine Ogilvy Spencer-Churchill, Baroness Spencer-Churchill (née Hozier; 1 April 1885 – 12 December 1977) was the wife of Sir Winston Churchill and a life peer in her own right. Clementine was educated first at home, then briefly at the Edinburgh school run by Karl Fröbel, the nephew of the famous German educationist, Friedrich Fröbel, and his wife Johanna and later at Berkhamsted School for Girls (now Berkhamsted School) and at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Without Winston Churchill’s leadership, Britain arguably wouldn’t have survived its darkest hour and successfully repelled the Nazi menace. But without his wife, Clementine, Churchill might never have become prime minister. By his own admission, the Second World War would have been “impossible without her”.

Clementine was Winston’s emotional rock and his most trusted confidante; not only was she involved in some of the most crucial decisions of war, but she exerted an influence over her husband and the government that would appear scandalous to modern eyes. Yet her ability to charm Britain’s allies and her humanitarian efforts on the home front earned her deep respect, both behind closed doors in Whitehall and among the population at large.
